Organic Frigates Starting class??

[Tsunamisan]

I have bean trying to find organic frigates. I am using a Anomaly detector. Unless there us a better way? But every frigate i have found was C-class. So can you find other classes B through S? I might b missing a condition to find better ones but type of system didn't seam to change anything as far as i could tell. Also Can you only get one organic frigate per system?

You can only get one Organic Frigate per system. They do range in class the same as Derelict Freighters. Most of them will be C-Class, but you can find S-Class. I stumbled on an S-Class about 2 weeks ago and wasn't using an Anomaly Detector, just a random encounter.

It varies by system, but as with everything else in the game that ranges from C-Class to S-Class, C-class is the most common.

There's not really any good reason to care that much what class they are when you recruit them for frigates. It doesn't take very many expeditions to rank up your frigates, and it costs you nothing. They'll all be S-class soon enough, regardless of what class they are when recruited.

Class has no bearing on how "good" a frigate is, living or normal. Class is only a function of the number of positive traits a frigate has, and positive traits will naturally cap out before Rank 11 (the last rank that provides stat increases).

To determine a "good" frigate, you need to calculate base, unmodified stats (slightly complicated, but 1 - 12 for rank 1 non-organic, -5 - 14 for rank 2+ non-organic, god only knows the range for organic but at least 1 - 42), consider where a frigate sits on its unmodified fuel cost range (8-12 for specialized/living, 2-5 for support), and consider what traits it has. Finding an S is only good because you can see the final state of its traits ahead of time, but living frigates can have stat gains and traits rerolled with food so that's not even a worry for them.
